Think power training only for athletes? Think again 👉🏻 ...
Your challenge is YOUR challenge.
It doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing.
What does matter is committing to your own challenge and seeing it through.

Consistently good beats occasionally great.
That means showing up on Monday and taking what’s there even if you don’t feel like it, even if you know it won’t be a recorded setting day.
The only record that truly matters is how well you string together consistent training weeks, months, and years.
That’s how you get, and keep, results. ...
Put hard stuff on the calendar and do it with great people.
This shot is from our Kettlebell Mile Challenge in May.
@itsbeyondstrength members (and some very cool folks that aren’t yet members 😉) came out to see how fast they could cover a mile while holding a kettlebell in one hand.
We all had a blast and folks surprised the hell out of themselves with how well they did.
Sprinkling challenging events throughout the calendar year makes decision making easy because it sets your priorities.
Even if you don’t know exactly what to do (that’s where we come in) you at least have a direction to go and the ability eliminate the nonessential.
If you’re not sure how to set priorities with your training, put a commitment on the calendar.

It’s important to remember your successes.
They prove you’re capable.
But it’s just as important not to dwell on them.
Have a short memory so you don’t become one of those people with a bad case of the used-to-coulds.
You don’t want to be that.
Because if you dwell too much on past success you don’t welcome in the person you could become through future accomplishments.
And you definitely want to meet that person.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it on this fine Monday, is to seek a challenge. Find one damn thing today and push yourself with it more than you usually would. That’s a simple one, right? Question is, will you do it?

We’re all human, we’ve all let comfortable negligence take something from us – or keep us from getting something that we wanted. Comfort leads to complacency. Complacency leads to loss or to never having.
It happens in relationships. Comfort causes us to settle in and assume the other person is getting what they need from us. We stop doing the little things that let them know we care. The connection dwindles. Sometimes it’s rebuilt, other times it fades away.
It happens with businesses. Owners and entrepreneurs get comfortable doing what they did to get themselves to a particular point. That comfort keeps them doing the same things over and over. Then they’re surprised when it stops working. The things that got them to the first level won’t get them to the second. But comfort blinded them to it.
It happens in training. People get comfortable with a training split and do it over and over for years on end. They make no changes, so they stop changing. Comfort stole their potential progress.
Comfort is a thief that steals from us a penny at a time when we aren’t looking.

“Legs, Arms, Arms, Legs”
That cue times up your rowing technique.
Finish your leg drive.
Then pull with your arms.
Extend your arms.
Then extend your legs.
Legs, Arms, Arms, Legs.
This keeps you pulling efficiently and helps you nail your rower technique.

Life is an infinite game…that can end at any moment.
Recognize that, and you’ll make more progress.
The game is infinite because it’s never ending. All those healthy behaviors you build based on your values go on and on with out end.
Not stopping is how you win an infinite game.
Knowing that it can be over at any moment keeps you present and playing at YOUR highest level.

This scene looks much calmer than it actually was 😂
@justyouraveragetiff is about to rip into that rower for a 12-second burst like she’s in a life boat getting chased by Jaws.
Then she had 15 more of those puppies.
She f*cking crushed it.
And @coach_ronytorres was there to cheer her on.

Is your gym goal worth it?
Are you hyper fixated on something that’s costing you a lot in other areas of life?
Or are you focused on something healthy that’s improving all aspects of your life?
Coach Todd asks you these questions in our newest article.
He tells a story about a time in his life when he was an absolute goon.
He was hyper fixated on a goal and it cost him big in other parts of his life…and nearly cost his girlfriend at the time her hand.
Seriously.

Move. Your. Spine.
Years of conditioning has a lot of people believing that they have to baby their spine all the time so they don’t hurt their backs.
It ain’t true.
You should move your spine through a full range of motion every day with exercises like cat cows, and this prone press up you see here.
Now, when you’re lifting heavy, keep your spine still.
But otherwise, move that sucker!

It ain’t a secret that we all want to look good neked.
But over the years we’ve observed that the people that do the best with body comp over the long-term don’t hyperfocus on body comp.
They focus on training consistently and appropriately hard.
And they train for a purpose outside of aesthetics.
They eat in a sane and sensible way that doesn’t deprive them of foods they enjoy.
They generally move a lot.
Training for a purpose outside of aesthetics helps you stay the course, and often times gives you a bigger sense of accomplishment.
Eating sane and sensibly without depriving yourself helps you maintain your health and body composition while enjoying your life.
And movement, well, that sh*t is medicine.

Here’s what you can’t see:
@chrisbeyondstrength daughter pushing his feet up so he can get his chin over the bar. 😂
In all seriousness, we program a lot of chin-ups.
They are one of the best upper-body strength builders, they’re easy on the shoulders and wrists for most people, and they’re a great measure of relative strength and body composition.
To reach our black standard, men have to hit at least 6 chin-ups and women have to do at least 3.
Are you passing black?
If you’re someone looking to improve their upper body strength, take us up on our FREE Intro.
You’ll sit down with our fearless leader @chrisbeyondstrength and by the end of the consultation you’ll walk away with actionable advice as well as a complete understanding of how training works at Beyond Strength.
